What I would like to see happen is a game when they switch on auto mode at random points during the game.

i want to have each division at nationals gather their robots and battle to determine what division really is best.

What if the game field was like a giant air hockey table that made the game pieces move at random?
Then at random times during the match, the lights on the field will turn off an on again! :D Sounds like fun!

A three-sectioned field with one robot from each alliance in the box, and you need to get game pieces from one side of the field to the other with the help of your teammates, or by flinging it all the way over?

They could do it so you can throw the pieces over, but the robot on the recieving end still has to pick it up and put it on a pylon or something to score. Think any one of FIRST's crazy stacking games.

Then you get three kinds of robots I can think of: Defenders (low to the ground, lots of torque, just there to mess your day up and push you around), Throwers (the name says it all) and, lets call them "Arms" (Arm-equipped robots that can pick up, pass, and stack the game pieces for scoring.

There, you retain the element that defense is important (assuming we're on carpet again, where you can actually push people around easily), but you can't exactly win if all you do is defend.

I kind of like that idea, actually. Teamwork isn't required but you'll get leaps and bounds farther.

Oh, but in the interest of fairness, let people choose which section to put their team's robot in. That way you don't get a defender on the end where it can't help you score at all. That'd be no bueno.

Looks like that already happened this year...heheh good guess!! :)

I think I'd like to see a more battlebot type of game. FOR ONCE. just a cannon or something. no no wait howabout. a game to burn holes with lasers and it's based around tic tac toe?

Re: No Way That's Gonna Happen!
 
this game is going to be insanley like battlebots because of the lack of control teams will (likely) have

Something with modular robotics (think nanorobots, if nanorobots weren't so nano) would be amazing, and challenging, but the problem is that the parts they give us are just too large to make a working modular system.

People will read the manual before asking questions. ;)

... And search before posting.

Looks like Gorrilla got the guess for 2009... maybe Dave stole the game idea off this thread lol... so we got "wheels required" out of the way... now maybe we should have a game without wheels:rolleyes:

We are actually designing a robot that will work on ice and shoot hockey pucks for demonstrations at a local professional hockey team. We want to bring it out during intermission.

Thoughts are blades instead of wheels configured like omni wheel omni bots (four motors on four corners at 45 degrees). Than pick up the pucks and shoot them at the nets.
WOW! that's creepy you got the game w/ out getting the game.

Instead of building one large robot... have a full colony! FIRST can go small-scale. Instead of driving the robots individually, the humans would send commands a la Overdrive. The objective might be to, say, build the highest tower with small bricks and knock your opponents' down. Robotermites, unite!

Just don't have them feel emotions.... I speak from experience...(AGRHHH they've got my leg again)
